Borrowed Post: 10 Reasons I Won't Stop Buying or Reading Printed Books

Lately, I have had several people say that they don't buy books for themselves or their children anymore because they have a Kindle or iPad and can get them that way.  This frustrates me to no end, to be honest.  I love technology... I have a Kindle and an iPad (that I earned through this business, by the way!), and I do read books on them all the time.  However, NOTHING replaces the feeling of having a REAL book in your hand, turning actual pages and seeing a row of brightly colored books lined up on a shelf.  And teaching your children to use an actual book is important!  Do they know how to look up information in an Encyclopedia instead of just "googling" it?  Do they know what it feels like to slip a real-life bookmark between the pages to keep their place?  This is precious stuff!

I follow Many Little Blessings regularly, and her Top 10 Tuesday post today highlighting reasons she will always buy and read printed books made me smile.  I want to share it with you!  Please click on the image below to read her insightful post.

So, what do you think?  Do away with printed books or vow to keep them around forever?

Hate to say it, but the holidays are most definitely creeping up on us!  Books make wonderful gifts!

Usborne Books & More

I am a brand new Usborne Books & More Independent Consultant.  That means I sell books.  Ok, ya'll... I love books.  I could spend days in a good bookstore!  Well, now I have my own... kind of.  It's online mostly, but still... so many books at my disposal.  And yours!  I will be hosting my Grand Opening party at my house this weekend and am really excited to start this new endeavor!  If you would like to see what Usborne is all about, and what kind of books we offer, check out my website.  

Usborne Books are great for all ages, all interests and reading levels, homeschool studies, independent or family reading, gifts and more! There's something for everyone.  I love the quality of these books... they feature bright, beautiful illustrations and colors, offer important childhood lessons and educational insights and they are made to last, so you'll be able to use them with all your kids! 

I am earning free books just by having my party this weekend!  You don't even have to leave your house to join my party, you can check out the offers right on my site.  You can also earn books by having a simple get-together with your friends and family and allowing me to tell them all about Usborne Books & More!  There are also opportunities to become an independent consultant too... making money and getting free books sounds awfully good, doesn't it?  Please contact me at heyjadebooks[at]gmail[dot]com if you are interested in having a party or joining our team!  Or if you have any questions at all!
